Role of a liver fatty acid-binding protein gene in lipid metabolism in chicken hepatocytes

G. L. Gao, Na, W., Wang, Y. X., Zhang, H. F., Li, H., and Wang, Q. G., Role of a liver fatty acid-binding protein gene in lipid metabolism in chicken hepatocytes, vol. 14, pp. 4847-4857, 2015.

This study investigated the role of the chicken liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) gene in lipid metabolism in hepatocytes, and the regulatory relationships between L-FABP and genes related to lipid metabolism. The short hairpin RNA (shRNA) interference vector with L-FABP and an eukaryotic expression vector were used. Chicken hepatocytes were subjected to shRNA-mediated knockdown or L-FABP cDNA overexpression.

Differential expression of L-FABP and L-BABP between fat and lean chickens

Liver fatty acid-binding protein (L-FABP) and liver bile acid-binding protein (L-BABP), in the liver intra-cytoplasm of chicken, are members of the fatty acid-binding protein subfamily. This study was designed to analyze and compare L-FABP and L-BABP expression levels between fat and lean lines in chicken liver tissue, and to determine the relationship between their expression and lipid metabolism. Real-time polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and Western blotting were used to detect the mRNA and protein expression in liver tissue between the lean and fat lines.
